In light of the fact that since 1831 the Territory had successfully governed itself, with little aid from the United Kingdom, and by its own endeavours had achieved tremendous socio-economic progress and was not fiscally dependent on the United Kingdom, and although it felt that the time for its independence had not yet come, it was entitled to request and receive a Constitution that was in keeping with the will of the people of the Cayman Islands, and possibly one that was similar to that of Bermuda.
Considerando que desde 1831 el Territorio se ha gobernado a sí mismo de manera satisfactoria, con escasa asistencia del Reino Unido, y que ha logrado por su propio esfuerzo un enorme progreso socioeconómico sin depender fiscalmente del Reino Unido, si bien estiman que aún no ha llegado el momento de su independencia, las Islas Caimán tienen el derecho de solicitar y de que se les otorgue una constitución que responda a la voluntad de su pueblo, posiblemente una constitución semejante a la de las Bermudas.
